Every figure, with its source

One row per source: the figure the source's own page publishes, the page, and the day it was read. A figure that is not on a page we read is not on this one.

The sentence each figure was read from (4)

Read in full, publishes no figure

31 named sources were read in full on the dates shown and print no usable figure. They are counted, never filled in.

Methodology

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).

4 of the 35 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 31 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 2 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.

The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 229 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per firm per published price: hourly rate (and whether it is per person or per crew), minimum call-out or service fee, hour minimum, trip charge, and flat price per named task; the index nobody publishes is the median, 25th and 75th percentile hourly rate and minimum call-out per metro across firms that PUBLISH a price, the share of firms that publish at all versus quote-only, the franchise-versus-independent premium measured rather than asserted, and a per-task flat-price table built from the firms' own service pages (TV mount, drywall patch, faucet swap, ceiling fan, door adjust); changed-since on each read, which is what makes a rate rise quotable

229 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
